Good night sleep tight





Wake up bright in the morning light

It's the Saturday Pet Blogger Hop!

TOOEY TELLS!

A guinea pig's view of life...




I am NOT coming out! Dog's may be MAN'S best friend, but we guinea pigs could be Dog's Next Treat if we aren't careful. YOU can read on, but I'm staying right here!



ODE to DOGS


A poem dedicated to man's best friend. For all the laughter, loyalty, and love you give us...we thank you for making our lives a little sweeter.


I lie belly-up
In the sunshine, happier than
You ever will be.




Today I sniffed
Many dog butts — I celebrate
By kissing your face.





I sound the alarm!
Paperboy — come to kill us all —
Look! Look! Look! Look! Look!





I sound the alarm!
Garbage man — come to kill us all —
Look! Look! Look! Look! Look!





I lift my leg and
Whiz on each bush. Hello, Spot —
Sniff this and weep.




I Hate my choke chain —
Look, world, they strangle me! Ack
Ack Ack Ack Ack Ack!




Sleeping here, my chin
On your foot — no greater bliss — well,
Maybe catching cats.




Look in my eyes and
Deny it. No human could
Love you as much I do.

IT'S FURBABY FRIDAY!

And this is a first! I was so excited when I met

Lucy

on Twitter and discovered she had an Oriental cat! And Woody is one handsome boy!

Lucy will receive 50 FREE TWEETS next week for being my guest today!



Yep...I really am a BLUE cat!

I was sitting at my desk one day browsing the cats that needed a home on http://www.catchat.org when I came across the Oriental Cat Association. I’ve always loved Orientals and couldn’t resist a look. Listed on the rehoming page was a five year old blue oriental male and he had the best ears I’ve ever seen!


Real men like pink.

He was described as needing a quiet single cat home as he’d had a few problems. It turned out that he hadn’t gotten on with the cat he was living with and had a very nervous disposition. He was living in the cattery of his breeder as he’d been returned to her rather than to a cat’s home. Unfortunately this was a three hour drive for us, but we decided to make a weekend of it and go and see him.


We cats know when we find a special human!

When we arrived I was shocked to see the state he was in. He cowered in the corner with terror when we entered his cage. I’ve had cats for many years and am experienced with cats that need special care, but I thought that Woody was beyond my skills. He had even plucked all the fur from his back with anxiety. We were left alone with him for 10 minutes. During this time I managed to get him to purr, so we both decided that we couldn’t leave him there. We packed him in the car and I sat in the back with him. I have never seen such a dramatic change in a cat’s behaviour in such a short period of time. Before long he was purring and sat quietly for the entire journey.


I wish every cat would be so lucky....

He’s been with us for 5 months now and his recovery has been amazing. All his fur has grown back and although he’s still a little nervous around strangers, he no longer hides. He has a very individual character. Being an Oriental he is very loud and shouty and very attention seeking. He loves jumping, and one of his favourite party tricks is jumping onto my shoulders (I have to catch him or he falls straight off). He loves his toy mouse and often walks around with them in his mouth before dropping them in his water bowl. But his favourite game is taking me for a walk. I have to hold one end of a piece of string and he picks up the other and he pulls me round the house.


Thanks, Mom, for giving me a chance. You're the best!


He’s not the best sleeper and most nights he gets me up 2-3 times by either shouting or jumping on me, but generally he’s an absolute joy and arguably the most important member of the family.

IT'S FURBABY FRIDAY CHARITY WEEK!


We love our pets! That's why Furbaby Friday exists. Many stories have been shared here that testify to the deep love people have for their furry family members. And we all know they ARE family! We laugh when they first come into our homes and we cry when they leave. I wish all animals meant to be pets could have that experience. But we all know that's not the case. Many of us share our lives with rescues. They are the lucky ones who escaped lives of outdoor wandering, abuse, abandonment, euthanasia, experimentation, hoarding, etc.
Today you have the opportunity to help those who help these furry friends. I have featured six items from Etsy shops that are donating 100% of the proceeds of the item to shelters. FARP, the Fabulous Animal Rescue Project, exists solely for the purpose of raising funds for animal rescue. Others donate a portion of sales to help animals. PLEASE visit these shops and consider a purchase. Some items are very inexpensive, but no amount is too small for donation.

Thank you to all of these wonderful caring people who continue to provide for the needy animals even in these difficult economic times. God bless each of you!
